Re: Looking for some political fire |
"The only way to create a lasting third party movement in this country is to grow it from the ground up." A difficult achievement, but I agree - the only route here is for the people to rise up and assert their need for a change in the process.
In addition to the limitations to the Tea Party that you noted - I have a real issue with their agenda, the shady "corporate" support, and a barely disguised, ugly racial undertone... tendrils of these issues are interwoven with the Repub party.

Re: Looking for some political fire - adding more fuel |
Whether shit floats or sinks, it's still shit and it still stinks the same.

Yeah, I know, make your sample group small enough and you can prove anything you want to.
Blatant racism exists in both mainstream parties. the Tea Party is no exception, but it is not as widespread as the media would have you believe.
But someone, anyone, please explain to me how Senator Robert Fucking Byrd, D-WV, self-admitted KKK Kleagle, and the party that embraced him as the "conscience of the Senate" got a pass from the media?

Re: Looking for some political fire - adding more fuel |
I would need to see the raw data used in the sample set to assess whether or not the two studies could stand up to real academic scrutiny.
My Occam's Razor gut tells me that right or left, the media presents what it wants to, regardless of the facts.
